It has been a while since I posted pictures of the kitties, so I figured out it was about time to do it again.

As usual the black and tan one was hiding and what I did manage to get of her, didn't come out worth showing off.

Whenever we go out of town and have to bring the kitties, we always put a harness on them just to have an easier time getting hold of them if needed.

Last night was the night and boy did we get cursed out by a certain black & tan member of the household. From the sound of what was coming from her, you'd think we were trying to kill her or something much, much worse. She does not like to be handled unless she's asking for it and it happens on her terms.

On the other hand, a certain orange and slightly fuzzy brained member of the household is so much easier. I can just go and pick him up, put the harness on and we're done. No wailing, complaining or bitching us out.

Thankfully she did not stay mad at us for too long. It only took her about half an hour to come back around and wanting pets :D

I am a bad, bad kitty mommy. At least that is what both the black & tan one and the orange one seemed to be thinking last night.

Every so often we get mail aimed at the kitties, which is usually new flavors of their favorite brand of cat food. Such a shipment came in the mail Tuesday and this time there was a sample of both wet and dry food in different flavors.

I decided to try the dry food right away but didn't think it would be a huge success because part of it was seafood and neither cat has ever been very interested (if interested at all) in anything containing sea food. Imagine my surprise when the orange one pigged out like I have never seen him pig out in a long time. He obviously decided that this was the new best thing and did not touch the regular dry food at all.

This brings us to Wednesday evening. Wednesdays are usually the wet food day of the week. I decided to try the can of wet food we had gotten in the mail the day before. Usually the orange one is all over us when we eat food with chichken or cheese, so this ought to be good since it contained chicken and cheese.

Guess what. The black and tan one dug in and ate herself to a full belly walk (cat people will know what I am talking about) while the orange turned his nose up and gave me that look. You know the look that says, "Am I supposed to eat this?."

Throughout the evening a certain orange and very whiny member of the household kept coming to the craft room to remind me that it's Wednesday and certain members of the household would really, really, really like to get their can of wet food. So to get a bit of peace and quiet and because the first can was not what they usually get I relented, grabbed the food dishes, cleaned them out and opened a can of what they normally get. This time I got the orange kitty song and dance, because oh boy the call of the pop top can was calling his name.

Guess what the little shit totally turned his nose up at this too. It was not until later I caught him face down in the food dish sucking up gravy like it was going out of style.

Bad kitty mommy indeed...

Who would have known that kitties actually have patience when waiting for the weekly can of wet food? From previous behavior I sure had not noticed.

Let me backtrack a little..

I did not get any sleep last night, so when it came time for hubby to leave for work I was pretty durn tired and headed directly to bed to catch some snoozes.

6 hours later I finally wake back up.

This is long after the time the furry members of the household normally get their wet food and neither of them had tried to wake me up to remind that it was time and they would be starving to death if they didn't get fed right now.

I did not know that ours had any ounce of patience left, but it sure was nice getting a decent snooze. Of course I now have to deal with the problem of going to bed and falling asleep tonight.

I am starting to think I need a third chair in the craft/computer room.

A certain orange member of the household has taken more or less permanently ownership of the chair by the craft desk. Yes I could probably move him whenever I need that chair, but you do not move a sleeping kitty and have it go unpunished. At least not in this house.

Why is it that a certain four legged furry member of this household insists on playing alarm clock almost each and every morning? He never wakes me up because there is no food, but simply because in his mind it is time for me to get up. He sits by the side of the bed and whines and yowls and carries on like there is no tomorrow, and as soon as I'm awake he disappears not to be seen until a couple of hours later?

Thankfully this is one of his stunts the black and tan one haven't caught on to yet.

The orange one decided to hand out kitty kisses today. This is not something he does very often, so when it happens it's a special occasion and should be cherished.

Expecting the kitties are going to try and claim their can of wet food any time soon.

It is usually a circus around here every Wednesday with the kitties trying to herd me to the kitchen because according to them it is time to open a can of food.
